    Urango was **** in this fight, but his body shots in round 5 were awesome.
     
  2. I gave Urango 3 rounds MAX !!!

    The holding wasn't bad until round 10.... when he was 8-2 up and Billy Graham was telling Ricky to tie up
     
  3. Only Hatton gets pulled up on this

    Watch Ali vs Frazier III and its the master class of experience from Ali , but when Hatton does it, it's because he is rubbish

    I have defended Hatton a few times after people have got stuck into him for holding, especially in the Mayweather and Malignaggi fights, where the other guy was doing at least half (if not more) of the holding.

    He shouldn't have been DQ'ed, but a point or two should have been deducted throughout the course of the fight.

    It's pretty obvious isn't it, if the ref deemed it excessive he should warn...deduct...DQ

    Don't think he even warned

    So the answer is a clear 'no'

    There's a million and one examples of fighters spoiling worse than this

    Man I can't even be bothered to watch this garbage again to discern whether he should have been DQ'd because I remember it being awful.

    At least he came out with a win through those tactics, if they made that fight again now I'd bet money he wouldn't.

    I'm surprised that some of the supposed experts on here aren't au fait with the rules of boxing...clinching is legal, holding isn't, the referee and judges obviously considered that Hatton was doing the former and not the latter.

    I do think that the attempted dismantling of Hattons career over the past couple of weeks is getting a bit tiresome to say the least.

    What the **** do you call when he holds a guys arms and he hits them? Or wraps his arms around a grown mans arms entirely.

    Hatton isn't a holder...****...you thought you heard everything. I heard Khan does NOT have a bad chin the other day.

    An octopus who should be going for the chin rather than the arms

    Well you are right about one thing...he definitely should be going for the chin rather than trying to molest his opponents midriff.

    Worst style since Ruiz.
